Desmosomal-mitochondrial associations in FS cells from WT and Nhe2-/- mice ( for each group) were analyzed by electron microscopy. Note that the desmosomes associated with two mitochondria (one from each FS cell) are a subset of those associated with at least 1 mitochondrion. * values are relative to corresponding WT control.
